Operation: Evict Baby!

So after we heard how big Hudson most likely is at our Wednesday doctor appointment, I decided I needed him out ASAP. This whole time I haven't minded if he came late because I wanted to go to my concerts, I wanted Nic's parents to be here when he is born, and mostly I wanted our kitchen to be finished and our house to be put back together. All that went out the window when visions of a huge head followed by a gigantic baby (being vacuumed out in a stressful and complicated birth) tearing my body apart started flashing through my head. On Wednesday, I started doing some techniques I had read about to help get the baby to drop. I did pelvic tilts, squats, and the butterfly over and over again. On Thursday, I went into work for the last time before maternity leave. When I got home, Nic and I walked up to the pool and swam a bunch. Since I haven't exercised in months, we figured that was a good first step. Friday night, we decided to kick it up a notch and went for a walk followed by spicy thai food. (all the while I continued with the dropping techniques). Saturday night we went to the Red Hot Chili Peppers concert. We did a few laps around Staples Center and I hoped all the dancing and music would make something happen, but no. Then I read that you have to speed walk, not just walk, so on Sunday night, Nic and I went speed walking. We did our pre-pregnancy route and hustled the entire way. This definitely got some results. We followed it up with swimming and I threw in some squat jumps and regular jumps in the pool for good measure. We both agreed that Hudson looked lower by the time we got home that night, but by the next morning he was right back in my ribs! On Sunday night, Nic, Justin and I went and went speed walking up and down the hill portion of the walk since uphill seems to get the best results. I also had balsamic dressing on a salad for dinner, but that didn't seem to do a darn thing. I'll also add that we have been doing the "most effective" induction technique with no luck either. (At least we are making up for months of bed rest/pelvic rest). As the days keep passing by, I am getting more and more nervous about labor. About all the new complications that could arise from Hudson being too big and I've been trying to mentally prepare myself for the possibility of equipment needing to be used (which I am super freaked out about/want to avoid at all costs) and the very real possibility of ending up with a c-section. Today I am spending the day organizing my scrap booking room and tonight I will either be speed walking or maybe I will change it up and walk up and down my stairs. Tomorrow we have another doctor appointment, so I am praying that at the very least I have made some progress! Wish me luck!!
